Bonnie keeps the top spot until I hear the Dead's version, which I'm sure is marked by their characteristic power and precision.
Okay, you don't like laid back and mellow. I bought the Dead's first LP. Never been to a concert or bought another of their records although American Beauty Rose tempted me for a bit, mainly cause I really liked "Ripple".
Still, there was a time that Bob wanted to join them. And he recorded with them. I listen to the Dead on radio and I enjoy them though I admitted I never miss not owning one of their CDs.
